I have the Colemak keyboard layout downloaded and added to my layouts, but I can't figure out a way to make Colemak the default on startup.

Every time I shut and open my laptop, it resets to "English (United States) US Keyboard", instead of "English (United States) Colemak (Caps Lock unchanged)". How can I make Colemak the default?

I'm using Windows 10 on a laptop.

  • Did you select the Keyboard in Settings, Time and Language, Typing, Advanced Keyboard settings?

Search for "Advanced Keyboard Settings" in the settings, then under "Override for input method" you can select your default layout.

    For future readers, can you elaborate on "in the settings", for example, how to get there? An appropriate screenshot (for example, cropped, not too big, annotated with freehand circles and text, etc.) might also be a good idea. (But ****** without ****** "Edit:", "Update:", or similar - the answer should appear as if it was written today.) Commented Jan 20, 2023 at 20:42
  • Weirdly, I can't find my desired keyboard layout in this list, but I can in the language bar.
